Fonterra chairman John Wilson told a press conference today that Fonterra was "deeply concerned" by the anxiety caused by the precautionary recall of potentially contaminated baby formula.
"On behalf of Fonterra, I want to apologise to the mums, the dads and the caregivers for any confusion that had been created over the last four or five days.
"I have confidence that Theo (Spierings) and his management team are continuing to do everything that they can, as quickly as they can."
Mr Spierings, the Fonterra chief executive, said while the risk caused by the potentially contaminated baby formula was minute, it was a risk the cooperative could not take.
"Still, up until today there is no reported issues, there is no complaints."
